Summary - 3, Lumley Terrace, CHESTER LE STREET DH3 3NQ
3 bed 2 bath Terraced
Large 3-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace with generous room proportions
A large three-bedroom Victorian mid-terrace located on sought-after Lumley Terrace, within easy walking distance of Chester-le-Street town centre and its transport links. The house offers generous room sizes across two reception rooms and a long rear yard with a detached garage — rare for a terraced property in this area.
The property requires full modernisation throughout: cosmetic updating, kitchen and bathroom replacement and likely mechanical/electrical upgrades. That condition creates clear scope for an investor or hands-on buyer to add significant value; similar homes on the street have achieved higher prices when refurbished. The freehold tenure, decent room proportions and town-centre location underpin longer-term rental or resale potential.
Practical features include mains gas central heating via boiler and radiators, double glazing (installed before 2002), and a compact front garden. Note the property sits in an area with above-average local crime and will need a full refurbishment; buyers should factor in works and compliance costs, and verify any required building or safety certificates before committing.
This is a strong project for a seasoned investor or a buyer seeking a renovation project with good transport links, local schools, and nearby amenities. The house is sold freehold with Council Tax band B and an EPC rating D as-is.
